Trevor Linden

Former NHL All-Star | President of Hockey Operations, Vancouver Canucks

Former NHL All-Star and Olympian Trevor Linden is one of the most celebrated hockey players of all time. Widely respected in both the business and philanthropic worlds, Trevor’s speeches stress the importance of diplomatic leadership, and illustrate how giving back can be a motivator for success in both our professional and personal lives.

Trevor’s NHL career spanned over 19 years, four teams, two All-Star games, and the Nagano Olympic Games. Named the youngest-ever captain of the Vancouver Canucks at just 21 years old, Trevor led the team to within a game of winning the Stanley Cup in 1994, earning him the lifelong nickname “Captain Canuck.” Later elected president of the National Hockey League Players’ Association, Trevor played an instrumental role over his eight years of service. In 2005-06, Trevor suited up for his 1,000th game as a Canuck, and a season later he became the first Canuck to score 300 goals for the team.

Since his retirement from professional hockey in 2008, Trevor has partnered with companies across Canada—like Bell, CIBC and Ernst & Young—to assist in the activation of their business programs, and also partnered with The Airey Group to pursue real estate and design projects, jointly developing several award-winning properties in British Columbia.

He is the founder of Club 16 Trevor Linden Fitness, a collection of numerous locations in the Lower Mainland, all dedicated to making fitness membership fun and economically accessible for all.

Trevor established The Trevor Linden Foundation in 1997 in support of youth and children with special needs. He has also appeared in several key charity campaigns including Cops for Cancer, Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, the Canadian Cancer Society’s BC & Yukon Preventative Health Campaign, Ronald McDonald House BC, The Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC, and the BC Children’s Hospital.

Canucks Legends

Trevor Linden writes the forward to this third installment in the spectacular Legends Series book. Full of glorious photos and engaging stories, Canucks Legends chronicles the first four decades of the franchise—from a young expansion team, to the Canucks’ current place among hockey’s elite, on the verge of bringing the first Stanley Cup to Vancouver.

Trevor was accommodating and a joy to work with leading up to our event. With such a humble and genuine demeanour, it is not difficult to see why he is one of the most adored and popular sports figures of our generation. Trevor has a natural speaking abilty. His keynote on how leadership plays not only into sports but into everyday life was an inspiration to all!

Trevor was the keynote speaker at our recent conference and I can say without reservations that he exceeded our expectations. His address was entertaining, uplifting and thoroughly enjoyable. What was perhaps even more impressive however was Trevor’s interactions with the audience before and after his presentation. He was generous with his time and his genuine and affable nature left a great impression with all those who had the opportunity to speak with him. He really connected with people and as an event organizer I could not ask for a more accommodating and engaging speaker.

Trevor’s motivational stories inspired the entire audience. His messages maintained a balance between individual performance and leadership, both areas where he has a tremendous amount of credibility. We found Trevor to be an exceptionally gifted communicator, delivering genuine messages with a level of sincerity the audience appreciated. A big hit, I would highly recommend him.

I spoke with Trevor prior to our event to give him a few key insights about our event and about the topics we hoped he could address. We were interested in goal setting, “game-changing” and what it takes to stay competitive and in the game. We were looking for items on leadership and preparation.

Not only did Trevor “hit-the-mark,” he nailed it. Trevor received a standing ovation when he entered the room (based on his celebrity), and at the end of his talk after the message he delivered. Great business ideas, great leadership ideas, great motivation, all spoken with a calm sincerity that was fabulous and true to the character of the gentleman delivering it. I would highly recommend Trevor as a keynote to any organization looking for the messages outlined above while energizing their staff for days and weeks to come.
